And the corner infielders always cut off the ball when they can. Cabarera actually made the proper play by not rushing the throw and waiting for the pitcher to get into position.

I dont think the 2nd basemen would have been moving as fast as you think.. it seemed fairly routine to me.

The argument doesnt really matter, cause its not like Cabrera made an error or anything, he did a fine job and the runner was out by over a step which is by a mile in baseball. complete blown call. I just feel a simple 4-3 play would have been much easier. Didnt think Cabrera needed to even go after it.

It didnt matter who fielded the ball, the pitcher wasnt on the bag which is why Cabrera waited to throw the ball. Corner infielders are taught to cut off slow hit balls
